Is it possible to permanently disable auto start/stop or default to a certain drive mode with this tune?
While you're at it, what about maintaining manual shifting with the paddle shifters in sport mode, so the car doesn't automatically revert back to "D" every time you come to a full stop?

so, can you explain why the intake is a prerequisite?

Also, is there any ability to control the power of the car or is it set?

Lastly, would you mind posting a short video showing how to swap the ecu's?

The stock air boxes are big restrictions in the upper RPM band. Not sure what you mean by ability to control the power. Yes we took a video last night on how to remove the ECU John will be posting it to our YouTube channel soon.

This is another issue we will be trying to address in the tune as well!

What about the speed limit. Can you disable that.

No we do not disable anything in the tunes. We simply raise the speed limit to about 190mph in the tunes at this point.

I was wondering if there was an app or any ODB controls that allow adjustment of the tune like the uncle chips or if it was a solid state tune with no adjustability?

I need to ask: what software got you into the ECU? I know MAGIC has cracked, but who else?

That's the one they are using to reprogram the ECU

Good question. I am guessing 2wheel, since that is the shop car. (?)

These numbers are for a rwd or awd?
The numbers were from our shop car(RWD). But we did tune a AWD this weekend and surprisingly had more WHP stock then ours did. It had about 344whp and ours had 335.
